I was getting ready for school, trying to hurry because I’m in a little time crunch. It was the beginning of second semester at Hughston High school and I was surprised at how fast senior year has flown by. It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that I first stepped into the school as a freshman, looking around at everything that piqued my curiosity.

It took a sharp nudge in the ribs from Blaise to pull me out of that haze and realise that my hand was halfway up in the air. Had we been alone, I would have taken your hand in mine and intertwined our fingers, a perfect knot to tie our souls together. But it wasn't the right time. Not so soon after seeing you literally for the first time in years and certainly not in the dingy Ministry corridor. You deserve better. Actually, I haven't gotten a proper letter that wasn't a howler in so long I was ready to blast it to bits just out of habit. Glad I didn't, though. It's nice to converse with an actual human being, even if it's the swottiest human being in Britain. I don't think you have changed much in that regard in the past months, have you? Once a swot, always a swot. This has all the information on it. All the guidelines, rules, and procedures, along with the deadline,” she explained. I nodded and took the paper before leaving the classroom. When I stepped through the door, Shane was standing there, leaning against the door. In a town this small, we rarely got any new people, and when we did, they were all they talked about, but I usually tried to ignore the drama and gossip. It was hard to ignore some of the louder speakers though. Apparently there were seven new kids this year. One in ninth grade, three in tenth, one in eleventh, and two seniors. Unexpectedly Mine is your typical cute romcom with quite a bit of spice! I enjoyed this story so much and thought it was different from what I have read lately. It is a major SLOW BURN but don't worry, Erin does a great job teasing the reader with sexual tension between the two main characters throughout the story. I enjoyed the character development of both Emma and Griffin throughout the story as well. Griffin learns it is okay to be selfish and do things for yourself after giving so much to ensure his little sister had everything she needed and more. Emma, someone who has been obsessed with weddings her entire life so much she fits every guy into the forever mold, sees that the person is what truly makes the difference even with an unorthodox Vegas wedding. I found myself laughing out loud at times while others really connecting with the characters story. If you are looking for an easy cute read, this is it! Highly recommend!Divination is a legitimate magical branch, Granger, that is something that can hardly be disputed, no matter how much you might wish to. The old hag, however, wasn't suited for teaching it. I quite liked Firenze's lessons but you didn't take those. Then add in a lot of forced proximity, some delicious tension and then some hot spice and you have a good time! Barrett was a total simp for Chloe and we love to see it! It also didn’t hurt that he had a lot of money... and a d-rty mouth.

I also found the romance to be a tad too romantic, if you get what I mean ( note to all sexy billionaires out there: it's rude to all the poor men everywhere to bring a woman to Paris for the first date, just saying.), and at times absolutely unrealistic.There’s only one man that would have access to JoAnna’s apartment without needing to be buzzed in. My stomach clenches with anxiety. Oh God.

Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to shut up, and thankfully for him (and for my hormones), Barrett knows. I saw the papers. Glad to see that Potter and Weasley grew a pair between the two of them and attended the graduation ceremony, at the very least. There may be some hope for them yet. I didn’t know why she was suddenly talking to me now. Although she was always nice and we had been friends at the beginning of middle school, she had changed into a typical, cliché, popular high school girl. As I was saying, you are going to get your Mastery and I am going to need someone with an expertise in Potions. I looked at her for a few seconds and reluctantly nodded in agreement. She smiled kindly at me and handed me a sheet of blue paper from her desk.I'm glad my discomfort brings you joy. It's endearing to see your sadistic tendencies come to life, even at my expense. P.S. It's almost sunrise and the wild energy coursing through me has no intention of subsiding, it seems. Will it be like this every time we see each other? I don't know. I can't wait to find out. It’s all very functional, with very little angst, and their honesty and openness with each other is beautiful. The moments between them may be sizzling with chemistry and sexual tension, but it’s also incredibly heartfelt and romantic, and I was swept up in all of the swoon.
